Bonjour Print Services for Windows
There is a fairly easy way to get better results in absolutely no time. If the Windows host is in a mixed environment that already has AirPrint services available simply installing Bonjour Print Services (BPS) from Apple will be much faster.
After installation of the BPS package starting the application will show a dialog with the available printers. Selecting the target printer and hit [Next >]. BPS suggests to use the Generic Postscript driver that ships with Windows.
